Washing Hair-TOWEL DRYING?
I'm recent to the LHC-forum, I've been lurking for a while. I have 4 inches to get to my goal, so I really am trying to take extra care of my hair.
I'm avoiding combing my curly hair when its wet, i wait until its damp.
But what about towel-drying? Is it harmful to your hair as well?
What tips does everyone have for just after washing, I'm CO Washing only if that makes a difference?
TOWEL or No Towel? I usually just wrap it up in turban....

I think wrapping and turbaning is fine, well for me it is anyway!
I think the key is not to rub or manipulate the hair while towel drying, this could rough it up, damage the cuticle and cause tangles.

I use an old T shirt. I put it on my head and I fold my hair in it. Twisting can cause damage. I make a loose turban.

I think using a turban is fine. Also about using a towl, it's ok blot dry but it's important not to rub your hair with it.

I like micro fiber towels.

Microfibre towels are the ****. I love mine, I don't have to rub at all, just press. That reminds me, I washed it a couple of weeks ago and just put it in the closet... Need to pull that out for next shower.

As others have said, if you are gentle, don't rub....just blot it then it should be fine. When making a turban be careful when twisting the towel so you don't stretch the hairs in the twist.

I squeeze gently to get as much water as I can out of the hair and then I wrap it and leave it wrapped until it is not dripping anymore and then I just leave it to air dry the rest. That have worked well for me.
